It was really great, but didn't really fit with the whole continuity... Yes, i know Astonishing operates out of that, but that's mainly been with just the X-Men team. Weren't they at that point all still against each other? And they still are to this point, atleast to Secret Invasion. It just stuck out as like a sore thumb, that's all.

Otherwise, a fantastic ending to a great saga

Against each other? I believe this was pre-Messiah Complex. Which would explain the absence of Kitty and Peter.

I meant the other superheroes. It's not pre-civil war, so, it wouldn't make much sense to have them all there.

They kind of covered that with this half assed reason. That stretch of the comic seemed a bit "oh explain it with magic" kind of shit. The way it was done seemed like they were trying to parody comics in a way. with their quick solution to saving the day, banding together against all odds cliche comic book ending, then all that was rendered pointless by magic.

all of this happened WAY before messiah complex, this issue took place probably right around WWH. since the x-men/hulk mini had the astonishing cast in it, sans kitty. i knew right then that she wasn't the one coming back.
